Protein Summary

The gene CV_1320 from Chromobacterium violaceum atcc 12472 encodes the NP_900990 protein that belongs to the group PF00857 Isochorismatase which is a family of hydrolase enzymes. Isochorismatase, also known as 2,3 dihydro-2,3 dihydroxybenzoate synthase catalyses the conversion of isochorismate, in the presence of water, to 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate and pyruvate.

There are several structures available in this family.

The monomer structure of 3MCW is shown below.

The protein most likely assembles as a dimer.

As mentioned above, there are several structurally similar proteins available in PDB. A DALI search confirms this:
